The Tournament to Stop The Apocalypse, A Hololive Fan Story

To Close The Gap

"A friend huh?" Ayame Scoffs, "What a joke!" She runs at Iroha. She jumps and begins to spin her body using her swords to create a deadly flaming attack.

"JIGOKU NO TATSUMAKI!!"

Iroha, in the face of the twisting flame, closes her eyes and brings Chikamaru to her face, she runs her finger down the blade and opens her eyes

"KAZE NO GOTOKU: KANKETSUSEN!!"

Iroha sends a large spike of wind In front of Ayame, the two attacks clash. However...

"A-AYAMES TORNADO OF HELL HAS CONSUMED IROHAS GEYSER!! THE WIND HAS ONLY MADE AYAMES FLAMES STRONGER AND THE ROTATION FASTER!!"

"Why the hell didn't I expect this!?" Iroha begins to run but with her injured legs isn't fast enough. She gets swallowed into the spiraling flame and is cut all over her body by Ayames blades. She remains upright but spins around the tornado screaming. She grits her teeth and steadies herself hovering in the the tornado. Ayame floats in front of her upside down, she stops the slices.
"We both know that you are too Stubborn for this fight to be end by default, but I'm gonna try this once." Ayame says to Iroha who is struggling to keep steady, "Give up." She says.
"Hmhmhmhm, hahahaha" Iroha begins to laugh, Ayame looks upset and before she can say anything Iroha looks back at her with determination.

Ayame begins to slice at Iroha again but Suddenly cuts stop appearing on Iroha, but instead, on Ayame.

"T-THIS IS AMAZING!! IROHA HAS TURNED THE TABLES AGAIN!! IROHA USED AYAMES OWN ATTACK AGAINST HER!!"

Ayame spins around and is cut repeatedly, her two blades fall out of her hands and she is then thrown out of the tornado with them. The tornado stops and Iroha stands with her sword held to her face, running her finger down the blade again.

"KAZE NO GOTOKU: KANKETSUSEN!!"

4 spikes of high pressured and heated air then fly at Ayame. She rolls out of the way of the first one and starts to sprint to dodge the other three. She attracts Asura back to her right hand and creates a smokescreen. She throws Asura through the black smoke at Iroha but Iroha narrowly dodges the blade with only a graze on her ear, she looks at the smoke screen and behind her Ayame manifests from the blade and slashes at Iroha with a reversed grip. Iroha slides her foot back under Ayame and lowers her head to dodge the slash, then sends an upward slice at Ayame left side of her abdomen. Ayame calls Rakshasa back to her hand and parries Irohas slice and with Asura still in the position of her missed slash she stabs down on Irohas back, stabbing her left shoulder. Ayame glances at Iroha and slices at her but Iroha hops back.

For a second they look at each other and Ayame throws Asura at Iroha, she's sliced up the face diagonally, fortunately missing both her eyes.
Ayame calls Asura back and it flies back to her, but suddenly, it stops mid air and floats there.
Ayame stares at the blade and a small leaf flies past her face as she looks up at Iroha.
"N-No way..." Ayame whispers
"Did she-" Mumei leans against the rails.
On Irohas face, the mask that Ayame dawned over the side of her face. Covered in blood with spikes coming out of the side, stabbing both sides of Irohas face. The forehead of the mask begins to emit a bright light from one point and a third eye opens, and disappears. The mask falls and Iroha smiles with her two eyes closed. And a third opens, with her other two, staring at Ayame in rebellion. She attracts Asura to her own hands and licks the blade, horns protrude from her head and she chuckles.
"I'd say, this fight has been made a little more fair, no?"
